Montpellier, Jan 19: YellowScan, a renowned global leader in the development of cutting-edge LiDAR solutions for both manned and unmanned applications, has made an exciting announcement at CES 2024 with the launch of their groundbreaking bathymetric system – the YellowScan Navigator.
This innovative technology is set to revolutionize coastal and river mapping from drones, addressing critical environmental and infrastructure challenges in the face of climate change.
The impacts of climate change, including drier and warmer seasons, heavy rains, and flooding rivers, have far-reaching consequences for human activities and infrastructure.
Accurate mapping of both waterbeds and land has become indispensable for monitoring, modeling, and mitigating coastal erosion, flood hazards, and understanding biodiversity habitats.
YellowScan has been a pioneer in LiDAR mapping from drones since 2012, providing precise instruments that have significantly improved the day-to-day operations of surveyors.
The company has always been committed to developing outstanding products that meet the evolving needs of the market.
In 2024, YellowScan is proud to introduce the YellowScan Navigator, a dedicated solution designed to fulfill the critical need of surveyors for mapping underwater topography in rivers, ponds, and coastal areas.
Tristan Allouis, CEO at YellowScan, expressed his enthusiasm for the YellowScan Navigator, stating, “I’m thrilled to see YellowScan Navigator addressing an unmet need in the mapping market and supporting society in tackling environmental challenges.
As someone who started their career working on bathymetric LiDAR data, I’ve always pursued the vision of developing my own system. Mastering hardware design has enabled us to develop advanced processing algorithms and push the system’s performance beyond state-of-the-art.”
The YellowScan Navigator is an innovative bathymetric LiDAR solution that has been developed with cutting-edge technology.
It features a laser scanner that has been meticulously crafted in-house over the past five years and extensively tested to achieve optimal performance.
This compact system is specifically designed to map waterbeds within a depth range of 0 to 3 meters, but it can reach depths of up to 18 meters in perfectly clear water conditions.
It is capable of being flown up to 100 meters above the water surface and provides measurements with an astonishing precision and accuracy of 3 centimeters.
Additionally, the YellowScan Navigator is equipped with an embedded camera that provides true-color data colorization.
The YellowScan Navigator is poised to usher in a new era of bathymetric LiDAR technology, offering unprecedented capabilities for surveyors and researchers.
With its ability to provide highly accurate underwater topographic data, it promises to significantly enhance our understanding of coastal and river environments, and contribute to vital environmental conservation efforts.
As YellowScan continues to lead the way in LiDAR innovation, the release of the YellowScan Navigator represents a significant leap forward in the field of coastal and river mapping, providing an invaluable tool for addressing the challenges posed by climate change and safeguarding our natural habitats and infrastructure.
